Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium tomatillos. Husked, washed and cut into large chunks (about 1 pound, or 500g)
  • 1/2 white onion, cut into large chunks (about 1/4 pound or 125g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 habanero pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place ingredients in blender and blend to desired consistency (I prefer the salsa to be mostly blended, with small chunks of vegetables, but you could go chunkier or smoother depending on what you want to use it for)
  • Adjust salt if necessary.
  • If the salsa is too acidic, try adding sugar (1 teaspoon at a time) until the salsa is to your liking.
